It also makes events like\u00a0Celebrate Research<\/em> more broadly accessible to those who couldn’t attend during the live premiere, with highly visual presentations showcasing key milestones, our award winners, and other initiatives aimed to improve research at St. Joe’s.[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”725″ img_size=”222×111″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”zoomInLeft”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”727″ img_size=”200×87″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”zoomInDown”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”726″ img_size=”222×111″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”zoomInRight”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1647552259463{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”997″ img_size=”300×75″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”zoomInLeft”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”996″ img_size=”250×120″ alignment=”center” css_animation=”zoomInUp”][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″ css=”.vc_custom_1647552264023{padding-top: 20px !important;}”][vc_single_image image=”999″ img_size=”” alignment=”center” css_animation=”zoomInRight”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space]

Celebrate Research: The show must go on<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/h2>[vc_empty_space][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Celebrate Research<\/em> has historically been our biggest event of the year \u2013 bringing together investigators, research staff, students, clinical staff, local partners, and community members. Celebrate Research<\/em> gives us the opportunity to recognize the achievements of our colleagues and research programs, to network and connect with healthcare organizations in Hamilton, and to congratulate the winners of The Research Institute Awards Program.<\/p>\n

During the pandemic, we shifted from an in-person event to an online presentation and found success via a live video premiere. In 2020, the messaging from Celebrate Research<\/em> reached a larger audience than previous years \u2013 leading us to expand upon this format for 2021.\u00a0Celebrate Research 2021<\/em> premiered live via YouTube on October 7. You can watch the full ceremony anytime![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/W6-y82zQS4c” el_width=”80″ align=”center”][vc_column_text el_id=”mcarthur”]<\/p>\n

Anne & Neil McArthur Award<\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]Another large virtual event is closely related to Celebrate Research<\/em>. The Anne & Neil McArthur Research Award is given annually to an internationally recognized researcher. This award is presented at Celebrate Research<\/em>. In previous years, the award winner would give an academic presentation after receiving their award.<\/p>\n

Since 2020, we have opted to host a separate event for the McArthur Academic Presentation allowing for a live discussion with more engagement opportunities from the audience.<\/p>\n

The winner of the 2021 Anne & Neil McArthur Research Award is Dr. Martin Kolb, who gave an engaging academic presentation in January, 2022. He shared his work over the last 25 years and the progress being made to treat fibrotic lung diseases, such as IPF and ILD. Like Celebrate Research<\/em>,\u00a0Dr. Kolb’s presentation is available to watch anytime.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_video link=”https:\/\/youtu.be\/SSPQZb-zio8″ el_width=”80″ align=”center”][vc_column_text el_id=”awardwinners”]<\/p>\n

Research in Progress Rounds<\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]In late 2021, The Research Institute began planning for a new event series called Research in Progress Rounds<\/em>. These sessions offer researchers of any experience level (students, novice & experienced researchers) the opportunity to present their in-progress research plans and receive feedback from the diverse, knowledgeable research community at St. Joe\u2019s.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”997″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The Call for Abstracts for the first session went out in December 2021, and the event was held virtually on February 15, 2022. We look forward to our next session, scheduled for August 2022.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

‘OMICS and Epidemiology<\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]How do laboratory tools and advances in technology contribute to our understanding of health and disease, including the COVID-19 pandemic? That question informed the central theme of this year\u2019s conference: Evidence-Based \u2018OMICS in Clinical Practice.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”1001″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]The Research Institute organized the 2021 \u2018OMICS and Epidemiology Conference, which was held virtually on May 27 and 28, 2021. Attendees explored the evidence for \u2018omics and utility in the health care setting \u2013 including COVID-19 and the lungs, depression and gut inflammation, novel platforms in cancer treatment, nutrition, and more.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

September Sizzler<\/h5>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner][vc_column_text]For the second year since the pandemic began, we were forced to cancel our annual Midsummer Mixer<\/em> event. While COVID-19 hospitalizations were lower during the summer months, we still had to be mindful of infection prevention protocols.<\/p>\n

Around the same time, leadership at the Hospital and the Foundation were looking to host a staff appreciation BBQ event at each of our three campuses. The Research Institute joined an ad hoc committee and together we planned a new, one-time event called September Sizzler<\/em><\/p>\n

The planning covered the essentials \u2013 how many lunches would have to be prepared, how to show appreciation for evening and overnight staff, etc. \u2013 but also details about flow control, outdoor seating, and other considerations for infection prevention purposes.<\/p>\n

Overall, the September Sizzler<\/em> event was a great success. The Foundation donated branded lunch bags that were used to serve the pre-packaged meals. Senior leadership from SJHH, SHHF, and RSJH were present to help distribute the meals and thank staff for their dedication. The AV team documented the event while also providing music, and The Research Institute gave out jumbo freezies to staff members looking for a tasty snack during the last few days of summer![\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_gallery interval=”3″ images=”1051,1050,1048,1047,1046,1045,1044,1043,1042,1041,1039,1038″ img_size=”full”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_empty_space height=”16″][vc_separator][vc_empty_space height=”32″][vc_icon icon_fontawesome=”fas fa-users” color=”custom” size=”xl” align=”center” custom_color=”#008b77″ link=”url:%2F2021%2Four-institute%2F|title:Our%20Institute”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n
